C21 (1/2)
This was the second time that Leng Lie had seen Lady Xu finish her makeup. The first time was too hasty and he could not remember.
She looked just like a certain someone.
Lady Xu pondered over what had happened to Leng Lie. Why was the way she looked at him so different? It was as if he was looking at her, but not at her at all.
”Leng Lie …” Lady Xu shouted, ”Leng Lie... Can we go now? ”
”Yes.” Coming back to his senses, Leng Lie tried to conceal himself.
The Leng Clan Mansion was located in the center of the city.
There was a distance between the Leng Clan and the city center. It seemed that many rich people did not like living in the city center and preferred living in the suburbs, such as the Leng Clan.
Outside the window, there were so many cars and horses. Lady Xu sighed. This era, the pace of life was too fast. Even the others were getting impatient.
Leng Lie did not say a word. With a straight face, he stared straight ahead as he earnestly drove.
The car stopped steadily at the Leng's Mansion, and the security guards trotted out of the pavilion. When he saw Lady Xu, he bowed and greeted her, ”Miss Cheng, you haven't come for a long time.”
Miss Cheng?
Xu Jia was frozen in place ….” What was going on?
Cheng?
Could he be talking about Cheng Xi Yu?
Did he look like that woman?
Lady Xu clenched her fists tightly. She finally understood why Leng Lie saved her that night. It was because he thought of her as another woman that night.
The drunken man had vented his feelings of heartbreak and resentment towards that woman onto his own body.
Leng Lie's face darkened as he stared at the security guard and said word by word, ”This is not Miss Cheng, she is Miss Xu.”
The security officer was so scared that his face turned pale. It was all his fault for talking too much, ”Sorry, CEO.”
He was the one who talked too much. The security guard was so nervous that he raised his hand and slapped himself in the face.
”That... ”Don't be like that.”
Leng Lie glanced at Lady Xu, causing her to slap him on the face.
Lady Xu did not dare to continue speaking. As she was being led away by Leng Lie, she felt that Leng Lie was truly a bad guy.
If someone else said it, why did they have to be so harsh on them? Besides, it didn't matter to her if she recognized the wrong person. In any case, she had never cared about it.
On the contrary, he was glad that he looked very similar to Cheng Xi Yu. Otherwise, Leng Lie wouldn't have helped him solve those problems. Everything had two sides. One had to see both the bad and the good.
Before he entered the company's lobby, all of the people wearing professional clothing looked over at him.
Lady Xu instantly felt a little nervous and subconsciously wrapped her arms around Leng Lie's arm. Leng Lie's expression darkened, looking extremely unhappy.
These people were all employees of the company, and each one of them had an especially astonished expression on their faces. Everyone was curious about the identity of Lady Xu and also who this woman was.
Although this woman looked very similar to the CEO's girlfriend, her temperament was different. If Cheng Xi Yu was a peony flower, then this woman was a lotus flower.
Leng Lie swept his gaze over the crowd. Those who were watching the show immediately pretended to do something else. In the company, Leng Lie was famous for his reputation as the King of Hell. Compared to Leng Yuan, the vice-president, Leng Lie seems to be more easily feared by employees.
Leng Yuan walked over and was about to greet Leng Lie when he suddenly noticed Lady Xu.
Leng Yuan was stunned for a moment before he smiled at Lady Xu, ”Sister-in-law, why are you here?”
Lady Xu smiled. Just as she was about to speak, Leng Lie said, ”Let her come out to work, train herself, and stay at home all day. I'm afraid she's going to suffocate.”
Leng Yuan smiled, ”Brother, if you're willing to bring me along, I'll let you know.”
He then looked at Lady Xu and asked, ”Sister-in-law, what are you mainly in charge of?”
”Eh …” She was studying economics, but she did not know exactly what the secretary was going to do.
At such a critical moment, he could not lose face for Leng Lie. He had to give him some face.
”Leng Yuan, sister-in-law's main job is to guide your brother. As for the other trifling matters, leave them to me.”
”That's the secretary. ”Sister-in-law, if there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me.”
”Mm, I know, thank you.”
”Brother, then I'll go out first, I want to go to Director Zhu's place.”
”Go.”
Leng Yuan nodded and left under the gazes of the crowd.
The employees were standing at a distance and were unable to hear the conversation. However, when they saw that Leng Yuan was smiling all the way, they knew that this woman's identity was not simple.
”What are you still standing there for?”
When Leng Lie stepped into the elevator, Lady Xu quickly followed suit.
This man, could he be more gentle with her? He didn't even press the button for this elevator, and it almost caught her, okay?
”In the company, don't say too much.”
”Yes, yes.”
”Right …” Leng Lie, that … How much do I get for a month? ”
”You want to raise my salary? ”What did the agreement say?”
”I'll do whatever you tell me to do.”
”So, you know.”
Lady Xu wanted to cry, but no tears came out. Was he trying to beat her to death? Why didn't you say earlier that there was no salary for the company's work?
If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have come. Even though he was cleaning up and cooking in the Leng Clan, he wouldn't be so tired in the company.
If there was no salary, then why did he choose to work at the company?
Lady Xu looked depressed as she pulled a face. The atmosphere in the elevator suddenly dropped. Leng Lie felt a chilly feeling in his heart. His eyes, which were as sharp as an eagle's claw, were hooked onto Lady Xu, refusing to let her go.
Dark clouds covered Lady Xu's head, ready to rain at any time.
”Stupid …”
”What are you talking about?”
”No …” Lady Xu spoke weakly.
The corners of Leng Lie's mouth curled up slightly, he did not know of this situation. For some reason, he suddenly felt like laughing.
The office on the top floor was clean and tidy.
Leng Lie pushed the door open and entered. ”From now on, you are my secretary.”
